hah, this title was definitely made by googling the french word for beautiful.
needless to say i had no clue what i wanted to name this.
not really any editing done except levels and curves adjustments
==============================
I've had a few messages about the model, and if you would like to check out more of my work with her, feel free to check out my blog post, and I add stuff w/ her all the time...she's one of my best friends, and a great girl to work with. Thanks for all the comments!

A few Fun outtakes (and the last two I almost entered, except I strugged with having to use shallow DOF b/c it was literally after sunset, and was using available light and no flash :P i LOVE my 85mm :} although I lost a lot of detail on a few :( )
Ok, I have to say I'm yet again on top of the world. Larus a while back told me "now the stress is on you so you're not a one hit wonder", and I can happily say I don't have to worry about that anymore since this is my 2nd ribbon.
Funny story. When I was trying to think of a good title for this, I was blank. So, me being the not french speaking person I am, I googled "Beautiful" +french" and this word popped up, and before I double checked it I put this, Écouter, thinking it meant "beautiful" and would be a fancy shmancy title. Well for some reason the title along with the picture does not scream out :
écoute
nf
(RADIO, TV)
temps d'écoute (télévision) viewing time, (radio) listening time
(NAVIGATION) (=cordage) sheet
écoutes nfpl
écoutes téléphoniques phone tapping sg
All that aside, I want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments, and the huge number of votes. It's amazing there was so much voting going on this bout, and I'm really happy with my placement. Thanks!

Clearly the title pushed you into the top 3 - I mean who doesn't like TV Time? :)
A huge congrats on both a stunning image-- actually a stunning series of images, and the ribbon! GREAT job!
I really love headshots. You done a nice job with this one. Eyes are crisp in focus. Your outdoor lighting is good. The one thing that keeps me from giving you a 10 is the hand placement. The index and middle finger give the illusion of being quite a bit longer because they curl over the rock and are not in the same plane as the ring and pinky. 9 One of my top picks.
She does seem to listen... to someone, but what I wonder. Absolutely beautiful girl and flawless skin and gorgeous eyes; pity about the finger nails. Great color balance and DOF control.
If so, you have a nice model.... I think this one turned out a bit better. I see you like shallow DOF, I think I'd like to see this with the chin in sharp.
Visually my eyes are definitely drawn to hers.. bravo on that... then they wander to her fingertips which are also in the focal plane.. boo on that. Close, but not perfect..
